Chapter 124: Please Unveil

Since there was somebody who specially waited in the wind to welcome him, Fang Zhengzhi naturally stopped, and looked at this girl in the green dress who wasn’t considered exceptionally beautiful, but was still rather pretty.
He felt that he should display his elegance and refined personality.
For example, praise the lady’s personality, or, describe the lady’s polite manner.
As he thought.
Fang Zhengzhi instinctively blurted out a dialect that circled the Northern Mountain Village for many years.
”This lady looks devilish handsome!”
The sentence left his mouth…
The wind in the entire riverside seemed to have silenced. Every scholar stared at Fang Zhengzhi with an expression of shock. They were really unable to believe that this was the double roll champion who defeated all the scholars in the River of Trust Capital.
The lady in green dress was also taken aback.
Having followed Yun Qingwu for so many years journeying through the country, she could indeed be considered experienced and knowledgeable. Else, she wouldn’t be tasked to wait at the riverside. However, she still hadn’t understood the meaning behind Fang Zhengzhi’s words.
Was he flirting with her?
Or…
He liked people who were like her?
Fang Zhengzhi gazed at the green skirt lady who was stunned, rooted to the ground, and sighed inwardly. He initially wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but, it looks like not every situation allowed him to make jokes?
”What I meant was, a lady dressed in green skirt waiting at the riverside of the River of Trust beside the willow tree, in the cool breeze, this style is indeed comparable to the winter-sweet in the snow!” Fang Zhengzhi helplessly rephrased his words.
”Thank you for Young Master Fang’s praise, the wind at the riverside is strong, Young Master Fang, please board the boat!” Her tone changed. The lady in green dress evidently managed to react.
Fang Zhengzhi didn’t move. All along, he understood one rule. It was easy to board the ship, but hard to leave the ship.
Just like the previous time he brought Yan Xiu to the Moonview Restaurant. After eating and drinking, it was extremely tough to settle the bill. If he hadn’t encountered Su Jiu, he would definitely be held in the restaurant for that meal.
If he didn’t guess wrongly, Yun Qingwu’s status was more or less the same as the restaurant owner in his previous world.
Even though Yun Qingwu was definitely the best among the restaurant owners, she was someone that the average person wouldn’t pay attention to, and if one wanted to meet her, it was as hard as climbing into Heaven.
But, she also lived through hardships and uncertainties, even if she personally invited him, silver and treasures were definitely unavoidable.
The lady in the green dress saw that Fang Zhengzhi didn’t intend to board the boat, and was somewhat confused.
”There is something that I must make clear first, I am only here to listen to music and eat. I don’t have any money to give, nor did I bring any presents.” Fang Zhengzhi thought for a while, and finally decided to speak his mind.
Even though when Yan Xiu heard that Yun Qingwu had invited him, he gave him a pearl that was as big as an egg. However, he didn’t accept it.
Taking a friend’s treasure to drink in the company of women?
He really couldn’t bring himself to do such things.
”He actually didn’t bring any present!”
”This person is indeed thick-skinned. If he claimed to be number two, nobody would ever dare to claim they were number one! He is really too shameless!”
”He actually didn’t bring any presents when meeting Yun Qingwu, quick, chase him away!”
When the stunned scholars suddenly heard Fang Zhengzhi’s words, they instantly expressed the anger in their hearts. Which person meeting Yun Qingwu wouldn’t bring along a treasure?
”Young Master Fang, don’t worry. This time, lady had personally sent out the invitation, a present is naturally unnecessary!” The lady in green dress covered her mouth and laughed gently, then once again, waved lightly to Fang Zhengzhi.
”A present is naturally unnecessary?!”
When the surrounding scholars heard this, they all felt like they were struck by lightning, and stood completely stunned on the spot.
To be able to be invited by Yun Qingwu is already a blessing from Heaven, he actually still didn’t bring any presents? Even in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, nobody would be able to accept such a thing?
”Then, let me board the boat and listen to a piece!” Fang Zhengzhi very reluctantly nodded his head.
…
As the scholars stared at Fang Zhengzhi’s figure from the back and gritted their teeth, Fang Zhengzhi was leisurely admiring the layout of the pleasure boat and the beautiful ink paintings...
Yun Qingwu’s pleasure boat was indeed uniquely poetic.
Not even mentioning the various beautiful jewelleries, each of them positioned perfectly to match the boat, just the various kinds of paintings and poems that adorned the body of the pleasure boat itself were amazing.
It seemed like the jewelleries were grown on the body of the boat, as if they were naturally.
”This boat looks like a work of art, but…”
Fang Zhengzhi didn’t say it, because, based on the positions of the jewelleries, he deduced very quickly that Yun Qingwu was not only proficient in poetry, singing, chess and paintings, she was also well-versed in the formations of The Art of Becoming Invisible.
Yun Qingwu…
Is probably not as simple as she seems on the surface?
”Please sit, Young Master Fang. Lady will arrive soon!” The lady in green dress led Fang Zhengzhi into an elegant room on the boat.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that these words seemed to cause people to fantasize.
He sat, and waited quietly.
Then, a few ladies in green dresses began to send in plates of exquisite snacks, and placed them on the table in front of Fang Zhengzhi, then slowly withdrew.
When the refreshments had all been served, an elegant figure appeared from behind the pearl curtains.
